New Feature: TV Trips Made Better With CATS

Hi everyone, Katie here.

Glogirly's been having fun lately reliving some of her favorite television shows from WAY back with a little help from me and Waffles.

She says that since there's not much worth watching on any of OUR 583 channels, we may as well return to a simpler time when growing up 'Brady' was cool and the closest thing to 'Survivor' was Gilligan's Island.

In fact if you missed our homage to these two TV classics, you're welcome to take a TV Trip down memory lane. We've got some nice ear worms waiting for you.

We've decided to make these TV Trips a semi-regular feature on GLOGIRLY. After all, wouldn't ANY show be better with cats??? Game shows, cop shows, sit coms and dramas...the possibilities are endless. So let us know in the comments what YOUR favorite television classic is and well add it to our upcoming TV Trip line up.

Oh, and if you say American Idol, well... you are excused and may leave now.

This is so exciting! I can't stop my tail from wagging. Some of the shows that the pawents watch thanks to Netflix or even Youtube are:I dream of Jeannie, the Munsters,Il love Lucy, the Love Boat, Andy Griffith ,Beverly Hillbillies, ooh I could name so many more!

My human liked, um... Seinfeld! Which she watched on reruns at her boyfriend's apartment when she first started seeing him. Well, that WAS 20 years ago, so that counts as vintage, right? She was never much of one for TV and in fact, did not even have a TV from the time she moved out of her parents' house until her boyfriend moved in with her and brought his TV. When she was little her favorite show was old Laurel and Hardy shorts.

Oh, but Monkees reruns were cool - she favored Mike. And years later had a crush on him still when he was executive producer of Repo Man and she was supervising assistant editor!

Happy Days, Magnum, Starsky and Hutch, Catch me if you can, Les mystères de l'Ouest (don't know the English title, but Will Smith made a movie of it a decade ago with cow boys, a train, and a crazy scientist), Chapeau melon et bottes de cuir (characters are John Steed and Emma Peel), The Saint (with the beautiful Roger Moore), ... Enough ? Purrs

I don't even remember! I have what I call TV narcolepsy. I might look forward to a show, but then fall asleep. It happens in a nanosecond, so there is no fighting it. I have always liked commercials, though. Maybe because I can watch the whole thing.

The Partridge Family (Waffles as Danny) Batman (from the 60's), Dragnet, It takes a Thief, Rowan & Martin's Laugh-in (Katie as Dan Rowen & Waffles as Dick Martin), McHale's Navy, The Andy Griffith Show, The Time Tunnel, and every other show already mentioned..

When Mom was in HS her favorite was The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour. Goodness she wishes they would reshow those episodes! Katie we see you as Cher and oh boy Waffles would make a great Sonny! (Mom also admits Dark Shadows was a huge favorite of hers when she was in jr high!)

One of my all time faves was "Welcome Back Kotter"...also "The Monkees"...........of course "Lassie" (sorry!!)........."Gidget"........"Bewitched" I'm older than you so I could keep going and going.......lol..........oh and "Punky Brewster"........"Leave it to Beaver", "Father Knows Best" and many, many more!

forgot one, thought of it when I read some other comments........"The Addams Family"........they were out BEFORE the "Munsters" and were much more intelligent :) "Munsters" were "wannabes" lol........"The Patty Duke Show" too.........."Happy Days"......."The Cosby Show"

We rode the school bus, and it was always a rush to get home for The Partridge Family (David Cassidy was a dream boat...but not anymore), The Brady Bunch, The Beverly Hillbillies. Late on I recall watching Hill Street Blues, Dallas, and the Carol Burnett Show.

Mommy says she is working with one brain cell after the Quest at Cat Scouts so has two that are only a tiny bit old and one slightly older: Fraiser (with a cat as a nemesis for Eddie), Will & Grace (with a cat that talks like Karen) and Mork and Mindy (with a Mork talking cat, of course). Really excited to see which show you pick next. XO, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
